David Livingstone: Doctor, Explorer, Missionary and Abolitionist. (An abolitionist is someone who tries to stop people being kept as slaves)
Here is a small section of a story that David Livingstone wrote about his life
For the first time in my life, I was afraid of one of God's creatures. Hiding in the bush, not ten feet from me, a four hundred pound, ferocious lion crouched, roaring angrily. I slowly reached for my rifle. Within seconds I pulled the trigger, firing a powerful blast at the lion's neck. The shot should have killed the animal instantly but only made it angrier. I tried to run, but the lion lunged at me, swatting me with its paws and digging its teeth into my left arm, breaking it as if it were a twig. It then raised me into the air and shook me like a rag doll. My life would have been over if my trusty African helper Melbawe had not fired another shot at the lion as it tossed me about. After releasing me, the lion turned on poor Melbawe. Would nothing kill this vicious beast? Only the spears of the stunned warriors standing by finally brought the powerful animal to its death. Looking back at my life, I never would have guessed that God would call a poor Scottish factory worker like me to be a missionary explorer in Africa.
